Calling all contractors
While companies are hiring and expanding in-house IT skills, it is next to impossible to cover the range of skills required to support today's modern infrastructure. As a result, nearly one in four IT workers is contracted on a contingent basis, and 46% of survey respondents expect that number to increase in 2014.

TEKsystems survey respondents said temporary headcount at their organizations is typically deployed for emerging needs like a new security initiative or mobile app development.
